I mean when people follow a guy who said some pretty random stuff by looking into a hat or a guy who told us aliens spirits are the reason we're unhappy and they need to spend trillions of dollars to fix themselves this isn't too far fetched
Heck i'd probably be more willing to serve Cthulhu over any of the other cults err..religions

Cthulhu doesn't care if you serve it or not, you are not but a plancton in the ocean for him.

I'm with you on that. Religion, in my opinion, is the most horrible destructive force ever to exist on this planet.

I disagree with this also. Mainly because our branch of Christianity is conservative and promotes traditionalism and caring.

That's good, and I'm glad you guys have your religions; but the fact remains, that absolute heinous atrocities have been committed in our time as a species on this earth under the name of religion (and in their minds it was justified, because their religion told them it was so).

Your particular religious practices may be peaceful and great. That's good. But unfortunately, it's not always the case.

I would say yes, it does hold back progress. But I always look at it this way, in the worst of times we all need some form of support structure. Those of us who have always had one might need new ones in such times. Religion provides just that, it teaches you some nice stuff, adds some sense of direction and discipline to the lost souls who are too broken to think for themselves.

It's like fire for primitive men, that helps them get through the dark. In the darkest of hours we tend to cling onto something and often that something is figment of our imagination. Not saying necessarily God is imaginary but rather referring to the manner in which the entity has been portrayed. Most texts portray it as the light at the end of tunnel or a source of good. There's no "otherworldly" aspect there, it's just basic motherhood/fatherhood we see in such divine beings. Always the benevolent entity. It would be arrogant in my opinion to presume otherworldly beings do not exist, as smart as we are as species I prefer to think something has been where we are at some point but whatever that entity might hasn't been accurately represented in such books

But I digress, as I said people can actually use religion as a guide post for when they're lost problem is religion is seldom preached in such a helpful manner and is mostly practiced in a fashion similar to a cult i.e creating a dependency. The entire concept of sin and eternal hellfire is reason why many simple minded people abstain from acting like self entitled assholes. They believe in all the supernatural stuff because fear is induced to them by appealing to their predilection of all things binary to make them believe in "consequences" that await them in the event they do not believe

Apologies if my view on this topic is far too simple but I tend to not think too hard about this stuff

In human history atrocities were committed under every possible flag (atheism included) if this is your meter of judgment you could not take any position whatsoever being it political, spiritual or religious.
